What learners take away
- Distinguish pressure from stress and recognise when pressure stops improving performance.
- Identify personal early warning signs and the three dimensions of burnout.
- Audit job demands and resources, and act on what they can control, influence or must accept.
- Apply evidence-based recovery practices: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control.
- Raise a concern with a colleague showing signs of strain, without diagnosing or intruding.
- Build a four-line personal stress management plan with a dated first step.
Course outline
Separates pressure from stress, walks through what the stress response does physically, and uses the pressure-performance curve to show when stretch becomes strain. Participants mark where they currently sit on the curve and what moves them.
Defines burnout using the WHO's three dimensions, contrasts it with ordinary stress, and covers early warning signs across body, thinking, behaviour and relationships, plus the six workplace mismatches that drive burnout. Participants build a private warning-signs inventory.
Applies the job demands-resources model to each participant's actual workload. Participants audit their demands and resources, sort every demand into control, influence or accept, and draft the opening of a workload conversation with their manager.
Covers how appraisal shapes the stress response, a two-minute breathing practice for pressure moments, and the four recovery experiences research shows restore energy. Participants score their week against the four experiences and design a recovery routine.
How to spot warning signs in a colleague, raise a concern by describing observations rather than delivering verdicts, and point to support without playing counsellor. Groups work a case study of a strong performer sliding towards burnout.
Each participant condenses the session into a four-line plan: one demand to reduce, one resource to build, one recovery practice to protect, and an early-warning tripwire with a named, dated first step.
